Well here we are the beginning of the second week in the new year. I've had a flu or cold at least three times this season. I'm just getting over this last one. I have felt a little gout coming on in my knees and wrist, but nothing too serious. My heart is still out of rhythm so I guess I'll have see the cardiologist and get a cardio-version. That's where they use the defibrillator to shock it back into a normal rhythm. This process for me goes like this, first you check into the hospital (the ICU) you get an IV of saline solution. The Doctor comes in with a nurse and an assistant, they puts the pads on you, one of two ways, ether on your chest, or one on your chest and one on your back. After the pads are on then they push this white colored (Milk Color) liquid into the IV, you take a short nap then they shock you. They had to shock me three times the last time, each time turning the power. The doctor said that he had never shocked anyone that hard before. So I guess I have something to look forward to.
I've been reading another blog latley and have found that there is some very good information. The link below will take you there.
